CoolSculpting / CoolAdvantage

Stubborn fat is probably our figure’s worst enemy, with them settling in all the wrong places or staying no matter how hard we work out or how much we modify our diet to a healthier one. Those belly pooch and muffin tops that seem to scream their presence every time we wear figure flattering clothes, or that bra roll that pops out whenever we try to put on our slim fit tops, are just as annoying as having a zit right at the middle of our face.

Before, we only have 2 options to remove these unsightly bulges, one is to just accept that our body will never be anywhere near what we want it to be, or we can do liposuction surgery and take the downtime in stride. For a pretty small area, which is usually what's causing all the nuisance, the idea of a surgery with a few days downtime may be a little too scary and over the top.

The use of lasers and radio frequency had also been introduced over the years to contour the body. There are also non-surgical options that grew in and out of the circle but they give very little effect, and they require several sessions before any result becomes apparent. Now if you are on your Medical Vacation in Thailand, or you only have a few days off from work, would you choose a per session treatment that will take most of your day offs, and will show very little difference, or would you opt for the latest fat reduction technique called Cool Sculpting, your one time, non-surgical solution to stubborn fat.

WHAT IS COOL SCULPTING?

Cool Sculpting in Thailand by Zeltique is an FDA-approved non-surgical fat reduction device that uses precisely controlled cooling to destroy fat cells which in turn is called Cryolipolysis or Cool Sculpting. Clinical studies of the use of this device report an average of 20 to 30-percent fat loss per treated area over a period of 6 months.

Though the procedure permanently destroys fat cells, weight gain is still possible especially if you don’t watch your diet. The treatment may not actually cause any weight reduction since fat reduction for cool sculpting in Thailand is area-focused. The device and the technique is not a solution for obesity, it is designed for spot treatment of areas such as love handles, back, bra rolls, and stomach rolls.

WHAT'S NEW?

Yoskarn Clinic is proud to be one of the FIRST clinics in Thailand to offer COOL ADVANTAGE Fat Reduction by CoolSculpting. Cool Advantage boasts shorter treatment time from 1hour to as short as 35minutes, more comfort in terms of pressure, and better suction which allows the applicators to cover 10% larger area. Cool Advantage has the same effectiveness as the well received and highly regarded CoolSculpting applicators. Cost ranges from 17,000 THB to 25,000 THB per area.

We also have the COOL MINI which is specially designed for smaller areas such as the under chin, the front of the armpit, and the area just above the knee, and lastly, the COOL SMOOTHfor the outer thigh and saddlebags.

HOW DOES COOL SCULPTING WORK?

Cool Sculpting in Thailand works by pulling excess fat towards the cooling plates that will be placed against your skin. This plates will hold the fat by a strong vacuum while the treatment is being done. The device will be set to a temperature that will freeze fat cells without harming other nearby vessels, tissues, cells, or your skin.

A cooling gel pad will be placed against your skin before the cooling probe is applied to protect your skin from the cold temperature.

***Note that the use of counterfeit gel pads may not be enough to protect your skin. This is the reason why some patients experience burns on treated areas. Check the name of the center you would like to do your Cool Sculpting in Thailand, with coolsculpting.com

Once the fat cells are frozen, they will start to die then your body will get rid of them naturally. Though you will see some changes after the procedure, it will take about 2-4 months for you to notice a big difference and about 6 months for the changes to settle.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR COOL SCULPTING?

People who are considering cool sculpting treatment should understand that this is not a weight loss procedure. Ideal candidates for this treatment are those who are not severely overweight or obese, rather, people who will get the best result are those who have isolated problem areas with excess fat but are otherwise on their healthy body weight range or just mildly overweight.

Patients should also understand that the result will improve over a period of 6 months so patience is necessary.

The treatment will not address loose skin on the treated area and another procedure or surgery may be recommended for such.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PROCEDURE?

Since cool sculpting is a non-surgical procedure, there is actually no down time after the treatment. Patients who had done the procedure can fit it in a 2hr break and go back to work right after the cool sculpting session.

Though a little pain or discomfort may be felt on the area, with a possibility of swelling, bruising, and redness but they typically resolve in a week after the treatment.

Patients usually just do the procedure once but a repeat procedure may help remove more fat on the specific area.

Fat can grow back on the area that was treated so patients are encouraged to maintain a well balanced diet and to engage in a healthier lifestyle.
